me: okay so only certain generics of Vyvanse work, the rest don't
my new provider, who is great: cool we can call this prescription in and specify a generic
the pharmacy: sorry we used to work but now we only have this other one that doesn't work
me: fine, can we send it to this other place?
Wait, this is a THING? I brought it up to my doctor when they changed me from a brand to a generic on one of my mental health meds.
The new ones straight up did not work and made me anxious and sent me into a mania. I was treated like it was in my head. 😐
I'm going to bite people.
Oct 15, 2025 00:10I just found out about this last year from my new GP. I was telling her that I never feel a difference with my thyroid med, and apparently while name brands have to be within a really tight margin of ingredients, generics can vary more. I forget exactly how she worded it, but I was 🤯 at the time!
